between Mr. Hoyt and those gentlemen
regarding a report which they were preparing
against Judge Wickersham. I know those
men and know that they were all opposed
to Judge Wickersham and know from their
conversations and consultations with Mr. Hoyt
that they were preparing a report against Judge
Wickersham for Mr. Hoyt to use. From their
consultations with Mr. Hoyt it impressed
me that they were engaged in getting that report
into such shape as to meet Mr. Hoyts views
since he was frequently consulted about it.
Mr. Nye is a lawyer formerly of the firm of
Carr & Nye at Fairbanks, and had his typewriter
on board and was busily engaged in the prep
=aration of the report assisted by the other
gentlemen. Mr. Bion A. Dodge is also
a lawyer and I am informed that those two
have conducted the local opposition to
Judge Wickersham for a long time.
